The last week of October saw the visit to Bristol of Valerie Bonnet, President of our sister organisation in Bordeaux, the Association Bordeaux Bristol. She accompanied 10 school children from Bordeaux, which for most of them was their first visit to Bristol.
This was in effect a mirror of the recent visit of Bristol school children to Bordeaux as arranged by the team at Community of Purpose ; part of the Bristol Together Championships scheme.
Valerie took them all around Bristol, visiting sites like the Cathedral, Bristol Blue Glass, SS Great Britain, the MShed, sundry Banksy paintings and Lawrence Weston Community Farm. They even had a day in Bath.
Hopefully 10 new enthusiasts for Bristol and future return visitors, maybe even for education or work!
